One falls near the plant.
I hope it grows there.
Others ride the wind out of the yard.
Their destination is unknown.
Some hold on to the only home they've had.
The next gust makes them scatter.

Seeds Scatter
One falls near the plant.
I hope it grows there.
Others ride the wind out of the yard.
Their destination is unknown.
Some hold on to the only home they've had.
The next gust makes them scatter.
Gray clouds move in.
The lake darkens.
I am distressed that
the sun is hidden.
Relief comes when it appears
enough to add light to the dark.
Set your Sights
on what you want.
Look with care.
Make sure you see
what is really there.
All the steps you
need to take.
Then, take the first one.
Where I Am
I didn't go as far
as I had planned.
I thought the wind
would be strong.
I was wrong.
Time to let go
of the plan
and grow where I am.
A Change of Seasons
One day in September,
day and night equalize.
It is official!
We say goodbye to summer.
Fall has arrived.
The Break
Pods provide protection.
Seeds settle inside.
The break takes place.
Wind whisks seeds away.
Pods persevere.
Signals of Fall
Some leaves turn red.
They do not stop.
Some leaves turn yellow.
They do not slow down.
The leaves turn because
the green must go.
